Corporate & Commercial Law

We advise clients at all stages of a company’s lifecycle: formation, development, restructuring, transfer, or liquidation. We support governing bodies (boards of directors, executive management) as well as shareholders and investors in their strategic considerations and compliance with legal requirements. Our services include the establishment of governance structures, shareholders’ agreements, general meeting preparations, fiduciary duties, and liability of governing bodies.

We assist our clients in negotiating, drafting, and reviewing contracts governed by Swiss law, including contracts for sale, distribution, subcontracting, or service provision. Our advice also covers IT agreements, licensing arrangements, technological partnerships, and terms of use. We ensure the inclusion of relevant intellectual property aspects, such as copyright, trademarks, or domain names.

We act in acquisition and sale transactions involving companies, assets, or equity stakes, both in Switzerland and internationally. Our approach covers the entire transactional process: legal and tax structuring, due diligence, negotiation, documentation drafting, and coordination of regulatory approvals

We advise funds, family offices, and private investors in private equity transactions, including fundraising, equity participation, exits, management buyouts (MBOs), co-investments, and club deals.

We assist clients with internal restructuring transactions: mergers, demergers, asset transfers, legal transformations, or relocation of registered offices. We also support group reorganizations, business streamlining, or strategic spin-offs, both domestically and cross-border.

We advise start-ups at each phase of growth: selecting the legal structure, drafting founders’ agreements, setting up employee participation plans, fundraising, and implementing appropriate governance. We also advise venture capital investors on the analysis and structuring of their investments.

We help businesses active in e-commerce or digital services legally structure their activities. This includes drafting general terms and conditions, platform usage agreements, confidentiality agreements, and navigating digital-specific regulations.

We advise foundations, associations, and other non-profit entities on their formation, governance, and legal obligations, ensuring both organizational efficiency and compliance with public interest goals.
